Decatur Youth Symphony - Decatur, Alabama

We are so privileged to have such devoted and supportive state leaders. Stay tuned! Exciting things in Decatur Youth Symphony’s future!

It was a privilege to join the Decatur Youth Symphony Board yesterday with a donation from the Community Foundation of Decatur and briefly discuss the substantial budget appropriation made this past legislative session. DYS has never had a place of its own as it serves young musicians from multiple counties in north Alabama who come from all walks of life and travel substantial distances to participate. They’ve had to shuttle from site to site. (Several years ago we helped with a van to help with shuttling many of the instruments.) The vision is to get practice space, storage space and even host smaller concerts. Such a facility would impact the many hundreds that participate each year and thousands for the years to come. Young musicians are many times overlooked and it’s encouraging to see the leaders committed to finding a place of their own!

Our student Concerto Competition will be on March 3rd at 6pm at the ACA Recital Hall!
